That doesn't seem to me to be a very good idea.  Having recently worked
on the systemd migrations for mysql and postgresql, I know that there
are frequently package-specific considerations that are not obvious to
the casual onlooker.  Having somebody who thinks he knows what he's
doing hack all the unfixed services is likely to make things worse not
better.

That policy annoyed me at first but I've seen the wisdom of it.  Doing
something like that will very likely break users' customizations of
their service setups, which is not something you want to have happen
after a routine "yum update".
